If you think this day is an invention of England (as the name implies), then you're mistaken. It is a yearly American holiday that occurs in January.
This American toffee variety is celebrated with great zeal and excitement by millions of people across the country.
It appears that the time and history of this holiday have been forgotten in the creation of this delicious chewy treat!
Though the exact history of this day is unclear, the general consensus is that it was founded by the National Confectioners Association, a trade association representing the confectionery industry in the United States.
English toffee is a buttery firm or chewy treat that can be topped with chocolates or coated with almonds, like Heath bars. The history of toffee is a little murky, but it's believed to have been invented in the early 1800s. Continue reading to learn more about its interesting history.
Over time, several types of toffees have become more popular to eat more than others, with English toffee being miles ahead of the competition. Buttercrunch is an Americanized version of English toffee that may contain nuts, flour, milk, dark chocolate, and corn syrup. Whatever your holiday traditions are this time of year, remember to take a break from the madness and enjoy everything from trying a new recipe and baking with friends and family to simply having a gooey piece before bed.
It’s no secret that toffee is delicious, but on National English Toffee Day, you're invited to get your hands sticky and sweet to celebrate this caramel treat! You can grab a bag of toffee from your local store, prepare toffee cakes, caramel toffee fudge, or toffee apple crumbles at home or order a toffee-themed drink at your local pub or cafe. It's delightful on its own, but you can also sprinkle some chocolate, raisins, nuts, and even fruit. Don't forget to eat your toffee on this special day!
Traditional English toffee is made with brown sugar or molasses, often with added chocolate, but original toffee is made with a variety of nuts and white sugar.
National Candy Day and Bubblegum Day are similar holidays.
National English Toffee Day is a perfect chance to eat toffee!
It's a day for kids to enjoy eating toffee, maybe even for breakfast!
Indulge your sweet cravings in moderation to stay healthy.
